Their proposal is as follows: <br />For every net new customer, Ace will donate a monetary amount toward the park (net being <br />if ten new cu~;tomers am'received but five current customers change haulers, then only five <br />would be recpgnized). At a point in time, when the amount has been deemed recognizable, <br />annually, Ace would present a "giant check" to the City, displaying the total amount <br />donated durittg the year. The check is proposed to be presented at a City function. Other <br />recognition ~nechanisms could be through marking or branding park items that are <br />purchased thorough these donations. While the City always welcomes donations from <br />individuals and organizations, Ms. Hart cautioned that the City should be cognizant of the <br />picture creat~l by actively promoting a program that could be perceived as serving as a <br />marketing mechanism for any business or organization. She stated that Commercial <br />Asphalt donates $500 a year toward parks/youth in Ramsey and they have not asked for <br />any recognitibn/advertising, etc. <br /> <br />Finance Committee/June 27, 1995 <br /> Page 1 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
